the thing you dont know may kill you


I am asked sometimes why anyone would need to learn how to protect themselves or use a weapon. I usually counter with “why do you think you don’t?” Typically people answer that they live in a nice neighborhood and nothing has happened so far. Seems like a big gamble to me. These folks live in a bubble of denial which is a mental defense-mechanism. It is common, but in no way serves as actual protection; Just the opposite.  I heard this quote today and thought it was very relevant:

 “There are things that you think you’ll never need to know; that you may only need to know one time in your life. But that could save your life because you had that knowledge.”

What does it hurt to learn new things, to change a perspective, to develop and grow?
